First of all, if you want to be a patent agent, you need to get a job license. The certificate is not difficult to test, and the qualification requirements for candidates are not high. You can apply for a college degree or above in science and engineering. In fact, the proportion of law graduates as professional agents is very small. Usually undergraduates are engineering majors, and then graduate students study law.
Relatively speaking, the profession of patent agent requires higher professional knowledge of science and engineering than relevant legal knowledge. It is good to know laws and regulations by heart, and it is even more difficult to cultivate the quality of related majors after four years with a background in science and engineering. Moreover, the cases of patent agency are also in different fields. The agent of mechanical specialty will be responsible for the patent application of machinery, the agent of chemical specialty will be responsible for chemical industry, and so on.
